Experimental Characterization of Multiaxial Glass Laminates for Front End Cab

Article Preview

Abstract:

This research paper deals with an experimental investigation of mechanical properties of prepared composite panels. Flexural behavior in three-point bending test is measured. Composites are prepared in order to satisfy requirements for transport industry. Totally, three material compositions are tested with different multiaxial reinforcing fabric and polyester resin. All samples are produced by low-pressure vacuum infusion mainly used for large-scale composite parts. Furthermore, fire resistance of prepared laminates is tested and appropriate classification into corresponding categories is also done. Experimental results proved suitability of prepared glass fiber composites for application in transport industry.
